My mama told me I don't smile enough
My sister told me I don't smile enough
My girlfriend told me I don't smile enough
Living in a world that's wild as f**
So young so down to buck
Listen' pay attention
While I tell you whats up
[Verse 1 Scatta G.]
Thank God for blessing me with a mother who believes in her child
One thing I think about that give me a good reason to smile
Feeding my brain with faith, paying my does, my wages of sin
Damn it, I done took so many loses I'm just ready to win
Tell me how many woman have the power to make a black man blush
Remember Love so strong if you swallow that power it'll smash yo guts
What you need to know is the difference, between street love and dream love when them fens come
Because they'll promise you the stars above, and everything under the sun, just as long as they can get one
This life's a movie, when there's nothing left to do we, smile for the camera
And though my rap style rotten, like a black banana
This life's a movie, when there's nothing left to do we, smile for the camera
And though my rap style rotten, like a black banana
Tell me can you smile enough
Feeling so sick of looking down
Naw, I ain't got no money
Give me props for trying to get it now
You hear ma spirit cry
From being hurt so many times
Yo smile is sunshine
Even on the darkest day walking in my life
So baby smile enough'

My mama told me I don't smile enough
My sister told me I don't smile enough
My girlfriend told me I don't smile enough
Living in a world that's wild as f**
So young so down to buck
Listen' pay attention
While I tell you whats up
[Verse 2 Scatta G.]
Feel like my body about to burst
Fighting not to display facial expressions that show how much I hurt
It's Kamikaze when I surf
Risking my life to feel happiness even if it's just a smile or smirk
Always been down for dirt, to come up
Just hit the spot and let lil G know the mission
Hip Hop ain't die, y'all just ain't giving the right n***as attention
The music industry f**ed up
I challenged my mind, heart, guts, and soul
You wouldn't know talent if it kicked you in the bu*t hole
My stomach stone like a pile of bricks
And my facial expression f**ed up like a pile of sh**
My demons jumping on my back too tough, screaming give up
But I keep dreaming even when I'm stuck
Man I'm fed up, I had enough
Tell me can you smile enough, working this grave yard shift, I ain't made sh**, Kanye I feel ya
Gotta keep my attitude positive enough to stay in the building
Pain take you places that you never felt
And how you know yoself, if you don't love yoself
Ya know
Gotta get to heaven quick to escape hell
I'm sinning everyday, I'll admit I need some help
I just can't smile enough
[Hook]
My mama told me I don't smile enough
My sister told me I don't smile enough
My girlfriend told me I don't smile enough
Living in a world that's wild as f**
So young so down to buck
Listen' pay attention
While I tell you whats up
[Verse 3 Scatta G.]
My heart unhappy and my frown so sad
It'll never be because of none of the b**hes that ain't give me a chance
Shid, They can't show me, love, loyalty, respect
They can't feel my face, my heart, my chest, my neck
Can't feel the flavor when I blow and slow the beat down, No need to panic
Sippin mocha before I turn the scene the romantic
The streets so sad, they make me wanna cop a pound and tax it
Been hustling, still trying to make it past the thousands bracket
Got yo light bill, gas bill, phone bill, but that's yo business wit yo own bills
Got yo chrome steel, living in a world that's wild as f**
I wonder if our mothers are proud of us
Got yo light bill, gas bill, phone bill, but that's yo business wit yo own bills
Got yo chrome steel, living in a world that's wild as f**
I wonder if our mothers are proud of us
